Premier Inn Northampton Bedford Rd/A428 Hotel
This Premier Inn is perfectly placed for two things: ignoring Northampton’s town centre (it’s fine, but not exciting) and getting to the Beefeater Grill next door.
The Beefeater is attached to the hotel via a magical corridor. You can shuffle there in your slippers. Nobody will judge you. I highly recommend the carvery—it’s like a Sunday roast hug for your soul.
If you’re feeling adventurous, the hotel is a two-minute drive from the M1. So you can escape to London, Milton Keynes, or, if you’re feeling really wild, the Silverstone circuit. But honestly? You might just stay and watch the car park lights flicker. It’s oddly meditative.
